[Q] Digital clock not working? Please help! - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! First off I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong forum but I haven't ever really done this before, haha.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini and run Nova Launcher on it. I recently dragged and dropped the Digital Clock widget onto my main screen and even though it used to show up with a white font and a semi-transparent black background, it has now changed to a black font with a grey background. I've no idea why this happened, or how I can change it back to what it was before. Can anyone please help me?

[REQ] Black Home Screen Fonts

Hi guys,
Love the work on the themes and mods that have been done already.
Thing is...i'm looking for Black Home Screen fonts. I have spent hours looking using the 'search' facility, to no avail!
Can someone point me in the right direction or make a cab file for Black Home Screen fonts.
Many thanks in advance!
Cammy
I second the motion. Wallpapers have to be dark in order to read the default white icons. What I really would like is a switching app where I could change back and forth between white and black depending on the background Im using. TIA

Default background with no shadows?

Hey guys,
the other day I noticed that the Touch2 default background has a shadow on the top of it - I removed the top bar from my touchflo and now it's annoying me.
The default background that displays before Touchflo loads doesn't have this shadow, though, and neither does the lock screen when set to default.
I've searched the forums but couldn't find it - does anybody know the location of the default background as it is before touchflo loads over the top?
Cheers
Jennan
Hello Jennan, agree with you that the schadow does not look nice for the reason you mention....when trying both today screen and lockscreen the shadow remains....however with lockscreen it seems that the wallpaper is "shifted upwards" so less shadow visible....see also picture here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578168
No idea how that is done.......
thanks frank, you're always helping me out. appreciate it
Frank, I think I found the answer
I disabled touchflo and took a screenshot with Ilium Screen Capture. I then edited that image slightly to stretch it where the top and bottom bars are - it's not perfect, but given that those areas are normally covered, it's as close as we're going to get.
Image is free to use for everyone, no credit needed.
Nice work.....!
Checked my "reservoir" and found this theme from Hero.....not the same but perhaps you like aswell.....
Cheers Frank, thanks for that
By the way I am using yours right now......

[Q] S4 Wallpapers question - How do i make the bar see trough on other wallpapers?

Hi there I got the Samsung Galaxy s4 after making the jump from the S2 and im really happy with it. There something annoying me though, as a wallpaper junkie. The S4 has a bunch of original HD wallpapers, which are quite frankly beautiful. The great thing about them is they take up the entire screen, they make the upper notification bar see trough which means you get more screen, more color, more happyness.
However there are only a limited amount of build in original wallpapers and for a wallpaper addict like me they start to bore quickly no matter how beautiful they are . The problem however is that if i use another picture from my phone or a hd wallpaper from one of the many apps i have the upper bar becomes black instead of see trough.
So my question basically is, is there a way to make the upper bar see trough for all wallpapers? Or are there additional wallpapers we can download somewhere from samsung that remove the upper bar? Or is there another app for HD wallpapers that does remove the upper black status bar?
Hope anyone could give me an answer to that.
In the latest beta of Nova launcher there is an option to make the status bar transparent.

[Q] Changes font on clock widgets

Has anyone noticed that the font is wrong on clock widgets like DashClock and Chronus? All the font choices in DashClock are the same system font. It's supposed to be the Jelly Bean large hour small minute look, but it sets itself to the system font automatically. Has anyone else noticed this and does anyone know a fix for this? When you go to add the widget, it shows the correct font.... but when it shows on screen, it goes back to the system default. Please help... it may seem small, but it's driving me nuts.
Really?
No one else has noticed this iisue?
Dusting this thread off. Gonna say I've noticed it too. So maybe it's a bug that hasn't been addressed?

Lock screen clock, not AOD clock change

Can we get a horizontal clock? I can only seem to adjust the AOD clock.
I applied a theme and it was horizontal for a while... a few hours later I look and its back to the vertical one. Anyone else notice this?
Hours and minutes are aligned vertically, if there are notifications.
It seem to be horizontal if you have any notifications. Once those are cleared, it goes back to vertical.
Here is a easy Solution
smarturl.it/samsung-s8-clock-chg
Takes less than 2 minutes costs nothing, does not revert back after notification or anything like that.
Horizontal clock is an option under AOD display settings. Look for clock style

Go to Settings...Lock screen and security...Information and FaceWidgets...Contact and Information. You can type in something here and it will show up underneath a horizontal clock. If you don't want anything to show up but still want the horizontal clock, just put in one space and no other text.
I've made a theme with horizontal clock on lock screen. This theme used stock icons and a colour is a little bit changed. Change wallpaper and change icons and thats all. But you can create this by yourself by samsung mobile theme editor wish i have later version. So in order to make horizontal clock in this editor you need to use not colour selection on tab lockscreen but images. And upload image of every digit 012345678: and thats all.

This is really the best proposal. I came here to get rid of this ugly clock on lock screen of my S8+. Thank you so much. No theme, nothing. :good:
Edit: does not work. The horizontal clock just showed up because there was a notification.
No dice on Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus for AT&T
Had a horizontal clock working for months using themes, but since the samsung update about a week ago it broke, there really should be a simple was to do this anyway, we shouldn't be looking for work arounds
